Volkswagen parts reviews
I still use stock gap on my DCPR9EIX on my turbo R with no missfires.
Running NGK DCPR9EIX gapped to .022" with no misfire issues.
The 9s are good. Considering I have run them anywhere from 15psi to 36psi of boost and they have performed flawlessly I would say that they work well.
Just swapped an r32 rack into my GLI. so awesome, totally notice a difference right away.
I've had very good results with mine, and I just get whatever would fit a New Beetle TDI. NBs take a reverse terminal battery and it's nice and compact.
I love red line, search for my UOAs... i've tried most of the top teir vw502 approved oils in the FSI (Motul xcess, motul specific, total energy), and they don't even come close to touching red line with regards to longevity / performance.
I had my local mechanic (not a VW specialist) do this on my 1.8T in my Passat not too long ago. The total was around $1100. That included my regular oil and filter change, replacement of timing belt, water pump, timing belt damper, and accessory belts (a/c, power steering and alternator).
I have the LX Platinums on my GLI. After 20,000+miles, they show little wear. Handling is definitely noticeably worse than the original summer tires, but not awful. Winter traction was surprisingly good.
They came form Fram G3746 fuel filter, and are useless parts for b3 passat fuel filter application.
